Holding
The Court granted regular bail to the petitioner subject to a cash bond and attendance conditions.
Summary
Amit Kumar was arrested in connection with a theft on a train and charged under sections 303(2), 317(2), 317(4) and 3(5) of the B.N.S. He had been in custody since 13 October 2025 and claimed innocence despite having thirteen prior criminal records. He applied for regular bail, while the State opposed the relief. The Court examined the nature of the offences, the petitioner’s antecedents and the length of custody, and concluded that bail could be granted with appropriate security. Accordingly, the Court ordered his release on a bail bond of Rs.10,000 with two sureties of the same amount, subject to the condition that he report to Kazipur Police Station every Sunday. Failure to comply would lead to cancellation of the bail.
